Scott was awesome to work with. The case was settled outside of court and he got me the deal I couldn't have imagined he would. He was very understanding of my situation and very thorough in explaining every step of the process. I would highly recommend him.

Hiring Scott to represent me was the smartest thing I could have done in my miserable situation. I had gotten my second DUI in ten years and was looking at big trouble. Scott was a calming influence on me with his respect and understanding. He walked me through what I needed to do to get my life back in order with complete courtesy and professionalism. He ultimately got my charge reduced, fine lowered, home monitoring, and I didn't have to spend a day in court. Scott is also quite flexible regarding payment too. Although I have paid him, I am forever in his debt.

I cannot even begin to say enough good words about Scott Anderson. When I was first charged with my offense, I was so worried about what to do, didn't think I could afford representation, and wasn’t sure what outcomes I would face. From the moment I had my consultation with Scott, I knew I was in good hands. He got to know me as a client and I could tell that he cared, truly cared, about helping me. He kept in great communication with me and made himself available at all times for questions leading up to my court date. He helped me to achieve an outcome I didn’t think was possible, all the while being affordable. I am eternally grateful for his assistance and would highly recommend him as your representation.

Scott is hands down the best attorney in town! He guided me through my DUI case and achieved the best possible outcome. My case was resolved even before the court date—my DUI was dismissed, and I was only charged with careless driving. Scott was always available to answer my questions and took my calls whenever I needed him. I highly recommend him! If you want your case resolved, there’s only one person to call: Scott!

Scott is a seasoned, experienced attorney who knows the legal system well from his many years of experience. Besides explaining all the complications of my case to me and getting a desirable outcome, he was understanding and patient with all my questions and upset as well. He's a decent human in addition to his considerable skills as a lawyer.

I am extremely satisfied with the results that Scott L. Anderson was able to achieve in my case. When I was charged I didn't know what to do. I had never been charged with a crime before. I am glad I was able to find Anderson Law firm. As soon I spoke with Scott he was able to ease my concerns and make me feel comfortable that we would get thru the process. The agreement he was able to come back with was the best I could have hoped for. I would definitely recommend Anderson Law Office to anyone I know who may be in a similar situation.

Contacted a couple couple criminal attorneys when I got charged for a dui, there explanations were so scary and intimidating but when I reached out to Scott Anderson he made it so easy from the go with his explanations, fee and calmness. Yes I haven’t been in many troubles but I can boldly say Scott Anderson is the best in this game as he helped me knocked down the charge to a careless driving even before the court date. His responsiveness, availability and professionalism is second to none so I will recommend him anytime.

Unsurprisingly, the experience that necessitated engaging a lawyer to begin with was insanely stressful and full of unknowns. Scott set me at ease from the get-go and quickly reviewed the circumstances and communicated a proposed course of action. Always supportive, upbeat and efficient when engaging with me, Scott was very proactive in providing updates when warranted. I was very pleased with the way Scott handled my entire case — and equally pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of these services!
